Servings: 8
Ingredients
Chocolate cookie base
- 1 ¼ cup (125g) blanched almond meal / almond flour
- ⅔ cup (110g) coconut sugar
- ½ cup (80g) plain or all-purpose flour, or white rice flour for gluten free
- ¼ cup (65g) light-tasting vegetable oil, such as sunflower or rapeseed
- 3 tbsp (19g) cocoa or raw cacao powder
- Pinch of any good-quality salt
Chocolate avocado mousse filling
- ~350g avocado flesh, (around 2 medium-size avocados)
- 2 cups (200g) vegan chocolate, roughly chopped
- ½ cup (120g) canned coconut cream, (UHT will work too)
- ½ cup (100g) sweetener or sugar, of choice and to taste
- ¼ cup (25g) cocoa or raw cacao powder, to taste
- Pinch of any good-quality salt
- Dash of dairy free milk, such as almond, soy or coconut, if desired
Decorations
- ~1 cup (120g) fresh fruit, such as berries and pomegranate arils
Instructions
To make the base:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Add all the base ingredients to a food processor. Mix until combined and it forms a soft but pliable dough. Press mixture into a lined tart tin. I used a 20 cm (8 inch) wide and 4cm tall (1.5 inch) tart tin. If you don't have one that deep, use a slightly bigger tart tin.
- Bake the base in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until it is dry to the touch and slightly puffed up. Set aside to cool.
To make the filling:
- Melt the chocolate in a small saucepan or a double boiler.
- Add all the filling ingredients (except the dash of milk) to the food processor. Process for at least 2 minutes or all of the ingredients are combined and there are no chunks of avocado. If you would like a softer mousse, add a dash of milk. Note that the mousse will firm up a little when set.
To assemble:
- When the base has cooled, pour the avocado mousse into the tart.
- Set aside the tart in the fridge for 4 hours or until set.
- Decorate the tart with berries or whatever else you might like and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.
